Industrial & Product Designer | Product Development, CAD & DFM

I develop physical products from early ideas, existing concepts, prototypes, and products that need to be improved. With 10+ years of experience in industrial and product design, I help inventors, startups, and consumer brands turn product ideas into clear, functional, and manufacturable designs. My work can cover the development process from product definition and industrial design through 3D CAD, prototyping, DFM, and manufacturing documentation. Depending on the project, I can help with: • Product Development & Industrial Design • Product Architecture & Functional Development • Existing Product Refinement & Redesign • Concept Development & Design Exploration • 3D CAD Development in SolidWorks • Mechanical Components & Product Enclosures • Prototype Development & 3D Printing • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Injection-Molded, Flexible, Textile & Assembled Products • Technical Drawings & Manufacturing Documentation • Product Visualization & Rendering • Manufacturing Quotation & RFQ Packages I can work from sketches, reference images, existing products, prototypes, CAD files, technical requirements, or a clearly defined product idea. The level of development can be adapted to where your product currently stands. Typical products I work on include: • Consumer Products • Kitchen & Household Products • Electronics & Product Enclosures • Wellness & Personal Care Products • Pet Products • Lifestyle Accessories • Packaging Systems • Collectibles & Play Products • Injection-Molded & Flexible Products • Prototype-Oriented Products My approach is practical and development-focused: I consider function, usability, product architecture, materials, assembly, manufacturability, and prototyping alongside the industrial design. I also have in-house 3D printing capabilities for prototype development and validation, and can prepare products for the next stage of manufacturing or supplier quotation. If you already have a product idea, existing design, prototype, or product that needs to be developed further, send me what you have and I can help determine the appropriate next step.
